$10,000 AUD No Joke Gaming Monster

[c0der1020]

If you are going to buy this system you simply HAVE to OC, otherwise it's a complete waste of money. If you buy an i7 920 and a good watercool setup you could get more performance than you would get out of the stock 975 and save atleast 1000$.

It's quite clear that money isn't an issue, but i'm sure you would like to get the best possible performance. Buying this rig and running it at stock settings just wouldn't do it.

wow id rather buy a yamaha yz450f and spend the left over on a $1500 gaming rig

I cant really blame the others for getting jealous about this 10k system. I say go for it, Its your money you spend it the way how you want to. But IMHO the i7 975 is just a little off the top.

Haven't you worked out he's a spammer yet?

 

[billybobbuddy]

I agree with some of these posts! Buy a cheaper machine to use and invest the rest!

 

[FallenSniper]

Such a waste...

PSU--> eep. the psu you selected is ultra expensive, you might consider the far better rated brand: 'pc power and cooling' you might consider looking at one of the few high-efficiency 90PLUS rated psus...
CASE/Cooler-> Take a peek at the RCS100 case. It offers refrigeration for the cpu -- at $10,000, you need to have something exotic. If not refrigeration, the CoolIT Boreas 12 is the highest rated non-painfully-custom cooling solution. you can order it for one cpu, two cpus, one gpu, two gpus, etc. the antec twelve hundred is a terrific case, very tall though. I have five HDs in raid0 and two graphics cards in my antec nine hundred, and it still isnt full. I replaced all the antec stock fans with nice quiet variable speed ones -- fans, fan silencers, psu silencers, noise reduction padding inside the case, i dont see any of that listed...
MONITORS-> 30s are huge, did you look at (26inch?) the 120hz models with the glasses as an alternative?
RAM-> good ram, but the reviews of the included fan are terrible. buy the version w/o the fan. Also, 12gb won't likely give you any improvement over 6gb. you wont max out 6gb no matter what you do....
VID-> the FTW is awesome (I have it), although if going with multiple cards, i think the single gpu 280 is a better choice (faster) than the dual gpu 285. check toms, buy i'm 99% sure that the reviews show that having two 280 single gpu cards are faster in most games than two 285s (four gpus).
RAID->a raid card will likely help speed up your system, Raid0 on your ssd drives with the card, and raid0 on the 7200 drives using your motherboard sata connectors...

Nice necro.

 

[truthismistrue]

Your $10,000 system is absolutely ridiculous and will be slower than a $1,500 setup in roughly 3-5 years.

It will be slower in some respects than a $1,500 setup in more like 1.5-2 years. Personally I would just buy the accessories and screen then spend $2,000 on a new PC every year for the next 4 years.

If you have this kind of cash and want the best peformance, then get 2 ATI HD5870.

Lol, this was originally posted 4 months ago, and the prices have already dropped considerably for everything he's wanting. If money is no issue, hell, go for it. It's better than getting Syphilis from a Hooker. Well, almost... depends on the hooker.

Monitor - 30" SAMSUNG 305T+ (2560 x 1600, 6ms, 1000:1, 400cd/m², Black) x 2 $3100

Would go for 6 monitors instead: Hanns·G HG-281DPB Black 28" 3ms Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor x 6 = $1800

Save that little extra for 3 ATI HD5870's.

Hell, I'd go for 2 Crucial CT128M225's Primary in RAID 0, and 4 Crucial CT256M225's Secondary in RAID 5.

Every year, I would just buy another mega system for $10k and have a computer in every room. If you're making this kind of bank, you should have a 8 BR house on Long Island.

You know what's great. The OP never reposted in the thread. I think some people here were right.

 

[Transmaniacon]

We just need to start linking Falcon Northwest or Alienware in these threads and be done with it.

 

[blackhawk1928]

^Incorrect, you people need to stop necro threads that are like 2-3months old...

[josiahshade]

your going to be disappointed you will never use that much power (I am NOT talking about your power supply.) You could play any game you want to on max and only spend about $3,000 easy. JUST BECAUSE YOU GET THE MOST EXPENSIVE THINGS DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE THE BEST!!! So calm down and save your money.
